How to buy

Because every rider has different needs, Capital Metro offers several ways to take advantage of our services. You can buy a Single Ride MetroBus fare directly on the bus with help from the operator, a MetroRail pass at a ticket vending machine on the platform or a 31-Day Pass from our
Online Marketplace. However you want to purchase your fare, we'll try to accommodate you.
